Under the direction OF the New York
State Board OF Health, eiRhty-fOur diff
ferent kinds OF baking powders, embrac-
ing all the brands that could be found
for sale in the state, were submitted 10
examination and analysis by Prof. q. f.
CHANDLER, a Member Of the State Board
and President Of the New York City
Board OF Health, assisted by Prot. ED.
WARD G.. LOVE, the well known United
States government chemist.
The official report shows that large
number Of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many OF
them to such an extent AS to render
them seriously Objectionable for use In
the preparation Of human rood.
Alum was found ~ twenty-nine sam
pies. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence Of lime is attributed TO the i'm
pure cream of tartar of commerce used
in their manufacture. such cream of tar
tar was also analysed, and found TO con
tain lime and other impurities; in some
samples to the extent OF % per cent. OF
their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the mar
ket, with the single exception OF Royal
(not including the alum and phosphate
powders, which were long since dis
carded as unsafe or inefficient by pru-
dent housekeepers) are made from the
impure cream of tartar OF commerce,
and consequently contain lime to cor
responding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely Tree
from lime and absolutely pure is the
"Royal." This perfect purity results
from the exclusive use of cream OF tar
tar specially refined and prepared by
patent processes which totally remove
the tartrate of lime and other impuri-
ties. The cost of this chemically pure
cream of tartar Is much greater than
any other, and on account of this greater
cost is used in no baking powder but
the "Royal."
Prof. LOVE, who made the analysis OF
baking powders for the New York state
Board of Health, as well rs for the Gov
eminent, SAYS of the purity ana whole
somness of the "ROyal ~
al have tested a package OF Royal
Baking Powder, which | purchased in
the open market, and find it composed
of pure and wholesome ingredients. 1t
is cream of tartar baking powder Of a
high degree of merit, and does not con
tain either alum or phOsphates or any
Injurious substance.

Editor LIGHT:
The court OF county commissioners
would certainly not transcend Its au-
thority were IL to set the destitute OF
Bexar county to work on the pnbllc
roads. or In restoring the irrigation
bitches below the 0ity. How is this con-
clusion arrived at? That IT Is the duty
of the court OF county commissioners TO
feed and support persons In Bexar, Is In
dispensable. It makes no difference how
their destitution came about; so that
they are likely to starve unless they re-
ceiVe assistance. The people OF the
county should sign petition to the
county commissioners urging IL to give
employment to the destitute men in
BeXar, by hiring them to reopen the IT.
rigatiOn bitches below the city. Ii
could pay them for their labor in prOvi-
siOns instead of money. Let half n
dozen petitions be circulated among our
citizens for signatures: II really seems
to me that every citizen whose heart
CLOVIS with humanity will cheerfnlly
sign such petition.
Ii ia not amiss to say that the county
would loose nothing 10 the end by pur-
suing the course here pointed out. The
reOpening of the irrigation bitches by
the county would quadTuple the value
OF the land, thereby made irrigable, and
by so doing, add to the amount OF the
taxes levied on such lands. The county
would have the right to charge for the
privilege OF using the water for irrigs-
ton and land owners would gladly pay
such charge, when irrigation would en-
sure them good crops, rain or no rain.
The people Of the county should petition
the county commissioners to pursue this
course with reference to the destitute or
Bexar. HUMANS.

Fort WORTH calls Postmaster Villas
attention to the fact that the allowance
made for clerical work and delivery ser
vice in the big gas city does not cover its
needs by whole half acre. The Fort is
not alone in this complaint. The re-
trenchment and reform Cry has peRe-
trated every department of the public
service, particularly the, postal service,
and the appropriations for carrying on
that work are altogether too inadequate
to satisfy the most moderate demand.
This rObbing the mail service in order
to make record for economy may be
good policy for a political petttfogger,.
but il is W worthy the head and front of
the postal department of such govern
ment as this. And yet Villas wants to
be vice president.

ODDS AND ENDS.

The outlook Is not bright and prOmis.
ing, still the situation Is not desperate.
Dependency unnerVes men and relaxes
their energies, and for that reason should
be struggled against by farmers aud
stockmen. The falling OF drenching
rains, even in May, will put a different
face upon the condition OF things and re-
store confidence to sdoh as have money
to lend This want of confidence In the
prosperity Of farmers and stockmen Is
what clogs business in all its varied
channels.
From reliable source the information
is obtained that Notwithstanding but
$50 acres are irrigated by the bitches
within the city limits and of the further
fact that the fancy salary of $500 each
is paid the two ditch commissioners,
the city derives small net revenue
from the irrigation bitches. Now, TAX
ing this data rs the basis OF the calcula-
ton, let us ask what sum of money the
county ought to derive from rendering
1000 acres of land, Of excellent quality,
irrigable. by opening the Irrigation
bitches south of the corporate limits of
San Antonio? This 1000 acres would be
at once utilized for vegetable gardens
and vineyards and would prove i'm
mensely profitable to the owners Ms well
as TO our citizens merely by Cheapening
the price OF vegetables and grages. San
Antonio, OF right, should ship large
quantities OF early vegetables to the
north, and wi eventually do so. IL the
irrigation Of $50 acres Of land pays the
$4,000 salaries OF the ditch commissions
era and leaves surplus to go into the
city treasury, the irrigation of 1000 acres
ought certainly to pay the county $2500
per annum.
II Is odd that the streets selected for
improvements are usually those on
which one of the aldermen happens to
reside, or own property. Ii Is a very re-
narkabIe accident, If. indeed, it is really
an accident. The principal steeets, such
as are thorOughfsres, shonld be first i'm
proved, and then the streets next in i'm
portance. The council should adopt a
system, and follow ii, without turning
20 the right or Left, instead of allowing
the aldermen from u ward to specify the
streets that shall be improved. The peo-
pie are watching thfs matter closely.
The democratic leaders are about
equally divided on the prohibition ques-
tion, consequently it will be next to an
impossibiity to draw party lines.
